Background

Chernokaltansky 6,8,9 Coal Mine is a SURFACE mine.

In October 2024, it was reported that the owner Siberian Coal Mining Company JSC was in financial trouble. As per February 2025 news, the coal mine was one of the few in Kuzbass that suspended production for indefinite period due to difficulties in the industry. Coal production in Kuzbass fell by 7% in 2024.

In August 2025, the Chernokaltansky 6, 8, and 9 coal mine was included in the Rostechnadzor’s schedule for reviewing mining work development plans for 2026, indicating that regulatory review procedures were still being carried out despite the reported suspension of production. Nevertheless, as of February 2026 there were no updates.
